Cathay Express

Little gem tucked between Auto Parts store and Radial Tire hath restored my faith in Chinese takeout after years of disappointment across the greater Sacramento area watching the go to spots of old close or change hands convincing newer generations that bamboo eating bears somehow serve up decent authentic Chinese Food. Thank you sister for the recommendation thank you Cathay for not disappointing. Ordered Mongolian beef combo , crab cheese wonton for good measure. Large portions, fresh ingredients, veggies w snap, tender meats, not super greasy, not oily,proper seasoning, deliciously sauced , just damn good tasty Chinese food easy on the wallet and tummy. That's my experience yours may differ, I most definitely will be adding Cathay into the rotation.

Great food great service.

We got orange chicken, sesame chicken, rice, noodles and it was just okay. very flavorless.

honestly. Don’t sleep on this seemingly hole in the wall. We ordered the Salt and Pepper Tofu and the Salt and Pepper Eggplant. Two things to know: Salt and Pepper anything is my go to and so I’ve had a lot. I’ve never had the tofu fried but still SOFT on the inside. Like a very soft tofu!! Normally a firm tofu but that was such a fun texture. My fiancée loves eggplant and WE HAVE NEVER HAD IT PREPARED LIKE THIS. it was BUTTERY AND DE-VINE!!! The flavor was so good and the batter of both was so crispy and salty and UGH! Also GREAT bang for your buck i would say their prices are super worth it. Please order those.

Chowmein was greasy and didn't like the atmosphere

One of the best chow fun in Sac. The smokiness of the noodles is on point. Salt and pepper chicken wings are perfectly seasoned and crispy every time. Keep coming back.

Takeout only. Affordable, NOT TOO GREASY, basic Chinese food. Active kitchen serving the community that takes EBT. NOT fine dining but do appreciate 1) food not completely soaked in grease (unlike SOME places, read my other reviews) and 2) fast service and desire to serve the community with basic hot meals. Adequate for vegetarians. Hardworking, honest people. They are too polite to say this but all people not paying EBT are expected to tip. The no tip option is for our brothers and sisters using EBT for an honest hot meal. Vegetarian options: Mixed vegetables, eggplant, steamed rice, veg lo mein and chow mein
